Camp Information

Ransburg Scout Reservation has 601 acres of rugged and heavily timbered land on the south shore of beautiful Monroe Reservoir adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest. Canoeing, boating, sailing, and a beach are available. Ransburg is the Crossroads of America Council's Boy Scout long term summer camp and as a result is often considered the "Home of Firecrafter". It also offers troop camping during the year. Ransburg has 16 campsites, explorer camp, a Family Camp, and a dining hall. Ransburg also has a C.O.P.E. Course. The last Rituals held here were in 1997.

Driving Directions

Take Highway 37 south from Indianapolis towards Bloomington.
On the north side of Bloomington turn left on to State Road 46. This is the bypass and will take you around Bloomington. Scenic Note: On your right just after the turn you will see Indiana University's Assembly Hall. Feel free to put your hand over your heart out of respect or thumb your nose as you drive pass.
Turn left (east) on State Road 46. This is Third Street in Bloomington. Food & Scenery Notes: Just before this turn is a White Castle on your left if you are hungry. Third Street also has a variety of restaurants (I would recommend the Arby's on the North side of the road and the Steak and Shake on the South side). The college mall is also located on your right (the South side of the road). Follow this road for approximately two miles.
Turn right (south) on State Road 446. Follow this road for 10.1 miles. The camp gate will be on the right at top of the hill after you cross the causeway. Just keep following the gravel road - the camp parking lot is back there but it is a few minutes drive.
